Confirmation of test results that has not previously been completed in a CLIA/CAP lab (such as research lab results).

These test codes should only be used for confirmation of genes which the BMGL does not provide a separate specific test code. Records from the lab that identified the sequence change that is being requested MUST accompany the requisition.

For Autosomal Dominant, Homozygous or X-linked Targeted Gene Testing: Use test codes 1560-1569 for requests when confirmation of only ONE sequence change is being requested for that gene. Complete one test code request for EACH gene.
For Autosomal Recessive Targeted Gene Testing: Use test codes 1570-1579 for requests when confirmation of TWO sequence changes are being requested for that gene. Complete one test code for EACH gene that TWO sequence changes are being confirmed.

Technical Information

Methodology:

Sequencing analysis of the region(s) containing the targeted alteration(s) is performed in the forward and reverse directions
